As well as saving money I can't help but feel not sending out cards is also strategic. I just tried to status match from QRPC to another Middle Eastern airline this week as I'm looking at the other options, but they've of course requested a scan of my current QRPC membership card showing the expiration date, which of course I don't have because QR are now four months behind in sending me a membership card for this year...

Yes, seems the most similar J product albeit much more limited network. Excited to try their new F on LHR and lounges in MCT too - will report back. Tempted by EK but middle seats in J are not acceptable these days. EY seems as much of a basket case as QR at the moment.

Depends what you mean, highest tier is Gold which is roughly equivalent to QR Gold in benefits (J Class Lounge and check-in etc), so there is no direct Plat match but was given Gold. Not sure if a QR Gold would also be given WY Gold. It seems status is fairly easy to earn anyway and not all that useful if you already fly J/F as with QR, but hate the idea of not earning the maximum number of miles on the first few flights

Reached QR Silver OCT 2018, still nothing, not even an email. They redesign the card because of Cost cut? plastic is cheaper than metal i think.
Reached QR Gold this month, not looking to any package from QR.
My friend said it take up to 6 months when he receive his pack.

Became silver on January 14 and had a call from QR office in Tunis on February 11 advising me that my silver pack has arrived and that I have to pick it from there.

Now going on 9 months since I re - qualified as QR Gold and no sign of the membership pack. Have sent a few emails to QR and have received 0 replies.
Perhaps @goingplacestogether can shed some light on this if QR haven't completely given up on that initiative yet?
